Better late than never, the second ScoutCast of the season is with us.

Recorded earlier in the week and available on our YouTube channel since Tuesday, you can now grab the audio goodness via iTunes or the players below.

After painfully average Gameweek 1’s all round, Granville Jonty, Andy and myself throw out the “marathon not a sprint” clichés before taking on another bumper collection of community questions.

We contemplate Harry Kane’s fading star, bow before the alter of Zlatan and attempt to untangle the great Liverpool midfield puzzle.

Jonty gives Goals Imminent stats an inevitable airing as we preview Gameweek 2, as I stumble over the finish line, delirious with man-flu and paracetamol.

You can view the full Google Hangout version of this episode via the second player below or stream the edited audio from this link or the first player.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    2. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      9 years, 7 months ago

      Price drop? 🙁

    3. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He isn't dropping just yet. If he scores on the weekend he'll be out of the danger zone.

  6. Declan
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Start Jaku or Forster?

    1. Prison Mike

      Jaku imo

    2. Sean.

      Foster

    3. Sebbo29

  8. Gabriel Agbonlahor

    1. TorresMagic™

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Capoue

    2. Declan
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Capoue

    3. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      The Cap

  9. Pinturicchio
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Made my first transfer. Replaced one midfielder with another, cheaper midfielder from the same team, and then put him on the bench.

    I'm a professional fantasy player.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Tadic to Redmond to bench?

      1. Pinturicchio
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Correct!

        I actually like Tadic more, but he's about to fall while Redmond is about to rise, and the performance differential I project isn't worth 1.5M. I don't plan to start either of them this week anyway; this frees budgets for a GW3 move; I'm not particularly interested in saving a FT right now, as I will likely be WCing over the international break; and this makes some other decisions in my team easier to make this week.

        It's still ridiculous, though.

        1. I Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          You do know that the price changes won't happen until after the deadline right? You could've kept Tadic and made your decision after the game.

          1. Pinturicchio
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Neither player will be playing (barring some crazy lineup surprises), and I would be doing it almost entirely regardless of what happens.

            1. BananaNose Maldonado
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Even if Tadic scores a hattie and Redmond gets injured? 🙂

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Tadic to Redmond?

    3. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Mane to Coutinho?

      1. Sebbo29
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Screw that. Would be madness

  10. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Jitters over here... About to Save an FT

    1. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Should probably be your default position

  11. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Jaku or Schmeichel?
    Amat or Stones?

    1. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      schmeichel + Amat

    2. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Jaku + Stomed

      1. Sebbo29
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Argh Stones

  12. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Hope Ibra catches a cold between now and kick off

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He would catch it and throw it away

      1. Acquafresca
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        😆

    2. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Zlatan does not catch colds

      1. HNI
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Cold catches Zlatan?

    3. Sebbo29
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Zlatan IS the cold that everyone else tries to catch

  13. Hurrikane
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    1. Aguero to play full 90?

    2. Who to start given Foster in goals:

    A) Friend
    B) Stones
    C) Love
    D) Valencia
    E) Evans

    1. Hurrikane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      2. (Choose 3)

    2. HNI
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      A B D

  14. 420king
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Foster
    Amat Stones Valencia
    Firmino Hazard Lamela Tadic
    Aguero(c) Vardy Gray
    (Heaton Friend Capoue Pieters)

    save FT & G2G?

  15. Rhinos
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I'm playing Targett over Evans. Come on Saints

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Why would you do that

      1. Rhinos
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Coz my defence sucks and don't see evans clean sheet either. Targett might blag an assist

  16. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Captain Aguero or Ibra? What are you doing?

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero if had either

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I've had it on him all week. May as well just stick!

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Both gonna score a brace so toss a coin 😀

  17. Guy Demel
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Hopefully Longs brace is enough to stop his drop tonight.

  18. The Taint Tickler
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Oscar/Alli/Capoue/Vardy/Rooney to Hazard/Barkley/Ramirez/Ibra/Diomande? Thinking of going 3-5-2 with Ramirez 5th mid and Dio on the bench.

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'd stick with what you've got

  19. Scratch
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Any chance some matches could be in jeopardy with this big dirty storm coming in overnight?

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      No chance

    2. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Weather looks great for next week, as an aside

    Best Preamble this season....

    1. Back on the horse

      Yeah, favourite article

  21. Siva Mohan

    Sunderland's Younes Kaboul and Juventus' Roberto Pereyra having Watford medicals, Walter Mazzarri confirms

    Foster
    Amat Stones Shaw
    Hazard Deulofeu Redmond Mahrez
    Ibra Kun (c) Negredo

    Jaku - 1.Evans 2. Morgan 3. Fletcher

    Mahrez to Payet - YAY or NAY ?

  24. I Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Tadic likely to drop tonight 🙁

    1. Scratch
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Good! might buy him next week 😉

    2. Ibracadabra
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      not a problem for me if someone slow (like blind or smalling) brings down a redmond or long in the box and he finishes the move off with a power penalty and 8 point return 😉

  25. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    25 mins, Firmino (c) and bench boost still..

  26. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Start 2 from:Shaw - Stones - Naughton - Kinglsey (Swans 4.0)Cheers!

    1. Footballfriend
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Shaw and Stones.

      Redmond and Costa or Hazard and Defoe?
      Hazard on pens and how he played last week is leaning me towards the latter

  27. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    keep or sell feghouli? feghouli >> ramirez?

    Pros:
    - Feghouli is injured for a few weeks so no point keeping
    - Not keen to start redmond so can start ramirez and bench redmo
    - Feghouli dropping in price tonight

    Cons:
    - No point benching redmond even if i get ramirez so might as save ft
    - saving FT means i can reassess what to do feghouli after this weekend either by getting ramirez/philips/ibe or downgrade to capoue to raise funds if i want to upgrade firmino >> mahrez or stones >> baines

  28. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Will the captaincy be evenly split between Ibra and Kun?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      no

  29. VAR United
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone else tempted by Pogba? Holding mid I know but so was Yaya..

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      441,791 people are tempted

      1. VAR United
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Might side with the casuals..

        Walcott > Pogba

  30. @Team Shark FC
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Start Heaton or Jakup?

    Assuming both will concede, but looking for more saving points.

    Thanks!

    1. Niemi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Heaton will most likely get more save points IMO, but could be cancelled by goals conceded.

      1. @Team Shark FC
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I also have this thinking. Thanks!
